A Story from our Founder

Hi, I'm Nathan McWhirter

Most workspaces today are horrible for posture, energy, and our mental state. This is a big problem considering most people spend 70-80% of their waking lives there. That is why I am on a mission to convert all modern workspaces into areas that promote health, productivity and well being.

It all started when I was personal training and I discovered that 90% of my clients no matter the age or physical condition needed corrective exercises for tight hip flexors, forward head posture, and lower back pain (All symptoms of excessive sitting).

“Don’t take an advil because you have a rock in your shoe, instead take the rock out”. Standing Desks seemed like a good way to get the rock out of peoples shoes.

So I started referring standing desks to all my clients, including myself. The benefits we noticed went well beyond just the physical! We had increased attention span, focus, energy, and sense of well-being. People that had ADD could stay on task much longer. People with back problems were experiencing less pain and the afternoon slump disappeared.

Fast-forward three years and Direction Desk is excited to introduce our first line of standing desks.

Every desk is designed to be a truly beautiful piece of furniture. We use stringent quality testing to make sure all of our desks can exceed your expectations in both performance and design. Please explore our products to find the perfect desk for you.
